1. more than one model 29 S&W revolver...but all different barrel lengths.

2. more than one model 27 S&W revolver ..but all different barrel lengths.

....I guess that's about all....( at least until you get to shotguns )...because I have about a dozen..Browning Citori Over Unders...( 7 of them in 12ga, 2 in 20ga...only 1 in 28ga...only 1 in .410 )....

and I've actually been getting rid of a few things ...giving them to my two sons....to seed their collections.....

As for the two Cheetahs, I just really like them, they're hard to find, so when I had a chance at the second one, I snatched it up. When I'm wearing cargo shorts, I often carry one cheetah in my front cargo pocket and the other IWB.

The extra 92FS Compact and the extra 243 are for my teenage son, who isn't old enough to carry yet, but he likes to shoot them and knows they will be his.

I don't have exact duplicates of any handguns but I do own the same models in different calibers.

9mm and 45 Auto Witness Matches.

9mm Witness P-S and 45 Auto Witness P Carry.

357 and 45 Blackhawk Convertibles.

I also have two SP101s, a 2.25" 357 and a 4.2" 22LR.

It's a collection thing for me. My dream handgun battery consists of a DA revolver, SA revolver, DA pistol and SA pistol each in small, medium and large bore. (Plus the 357 SP101 for carry for a nice round number of 13 handguns.) I need just two more, a DA 22 pistol and a DA 45 revolver.

I've got the 9mm and 40S&W compact Glocks, if that counts. I'll also end up getting multiple calibers of the USP once funds are available. I love that gun so much. I like diversity in my same models. Lol

I have 5 1911 pistols; three full size Governments, one Commander, one Officers size. Two Ruger Super Blackhawks, two Blackhawks. Had two S&W 686s, one 6" and one 4". Traded the 6" to my brother, still have the 4".

ruger sr9 and sr9c...couldn't decide at the counter so I took them both and have been trying to decide ever since...6-9mos...love them both.
rossi 92 rifle in 357 and 45...can't decide on these 2 either

Nearly all of them, because "any pistol worth having is worth having two (or more) of".

Mostly it's so that you have one to shoot, one to carry. (In practical terms you still shoot the CCW gun intermittently in order to ensure reliability and consistency, but you don't have to always be cleaning the EDC gun.)

Over a period of decades, this has resulted in duplicates of many different guns in my case.

Until a couple of weeks ago I had 2 identical FNP40s. Bought and shot the first one and loved its feel and accuracy so figured I wanted another to shoot after I wore out the first one. Had 300 or less rds through the first one bought and put around 3000 rds through the second, which is my EDC gun. Fell in love with a Sig P229 Elite Stainless so sold the low-round count FNP to fund the Sig. Just picked up the Sig, need to clean it and get some rounds through it.
